Customer-Centred Care through facts

A standard policy of Pegasus Laboratory Services is that only one customer is allowed to enter the bleeding/waiting area at a time. Such system safeguards the customer’s safety and privacy.

No results will be given except to the horse owner/customer, if not instructed otherwise in writing by the same customer (by email or private recognised message).

Due to COVID-19 directives and until further notice, customers are requested to bring and wear a protective mask and sanitise their hands with 70% alcohol (provided by the Lab/shop) before and after presenting the sample. Samples must be clean and avoid unnecessary spillages.
